Fees
Understanding trading fees on Polymarket
Polymarket charges a small taker fee on certain markets. These fees fund the Maker Rebates Program, which redistributes fees daily to market makers to incentivize deeper liquidity and tighter spreads.
Geopolitical and world events markets are fee-free. Polymarket does not charge fees or profit from trading activity on these markets. There are also no Polymarket fees to deposit or withdraw USDC (though intermediaries like Coinbase or MoonPay may charge their own fees).
Fees apply only to markets deployed on or after the activation date. Pre-existing markets are unaffected. Markets with fees enabled have `feesEnabled` set to `true` on the market object.Current Fee Structure
The following fee parameters are currently live. New fee parameters will take effect on March 30, 2026 — see Upcoming Fee Structure below.
